A group of Republican senators have asked the IRS to probe groups funding anti-Israel campus protests with an eye to removing their nonprofit standing.
The main target of the 16 legislators, led by Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), is the antisemitic National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), which has chapters in hundreds of universities across the USA.
About fifty of these colleges have been roiling in recent weeks with NSJP-led anti-Israel demonstrations and encampments. In many cases these illegal activities have not been quickly shut down by the administrations, leading to vociferous condemnation on Capitol Hill and sharp, if belated, criticism from the White House.
SJP and other Israel hating organizations stand in support of Hamas and Iran, whether they are paid agitators or indoctrinated and uneducated students. There should be no fine line between that allows hateful intention to be considered free speech. Defund now!
